2010 10 24 ダンロップ ジムカーナ 第5戦 志賀選手 第2ヒート (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9twUAi1Q4o0#normal) Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: thought on June 20, 2011, 11:49:04 AM japan's msf course? haha

- big ass rear sprocket - handlebar risers anything else? Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: ODrides on June 23, 2011, 11:53:39 AM Tiny little japanese feet!
Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: He Man on June 23, 2011, 04:53:07 PM i dont think there is a sprocket on that.... if there is, i dont think its much bigger than stock!
Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: IdZer0 on June 24, 2011, 05:54:59 AM What do you mean "no sprocket". It looks double the size of this one:

Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: ducatiz on June 27, 2011, 06:37:26 AM look how close the nose of the front fairing is to the mudguard versus the photo:
(http://www.zeropiston.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/2008-cbr600rr1.jpg) it's as if the forks are fully compressed the whole time. Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: matmcd78 on July 03, 2011, 01:48:26 AM Regardless of mods to the bike, very impressive driving.
Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: Queestce on July 03, 2011, 02:07:05 AM i dont think there is a sprocket on that.... if there is, i dont think its much bigger than stock! Lolwut?... It does look a bit bigger. Still, mods or not that's brilliant bike control. I'd struggle to slowride that course let alone do that! Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: Duc796canada on July 03, 2011, 12:37:32 PM Very nice! They should bring it to North America, it takes more skill than doing 170 mph down a straight!
Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: caperix on July 03, 2011, 04:26:57 PM Buell ran battle trax for awile, that was simmilar. Though I never saw anyone show the kind of skill shown in the video.
Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: Hellraising-vtec on July 04, 2011, 08:34:56 AM awesome vid.
Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: Mr Bread on July 07, 2011, 05:38:06 PM what kind of tires?
do they use warmers? Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: BookEmDanO on July 11, 2011, 06:50:28 PM He also has bars and risers in place of clipons, hence more leverage.
Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: MAXdB on July 18, 2011, 12:00:22 AM i love seeing these clips.. always amazes me.
Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: duc996 on July 29, 2011, 02:46:05 AM Gymkana i think is what the Japs call it
Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: Duc Buz on August 05, 2011, 08:32:04 AM I would get dizzy and lost.
Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: ab on August 10, 2011, 08:17:04 PM What a skill ! Amazing ! [clap]
Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: Greg on October 04, 2011, 02:40:58 PM Try doing that on a Monster which only has 2 degrees of steering lock ;D
Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: Monster750ie on October 05, 2011, 09:50:55 AM Yes its Gymkhana, I used to do this but in my S14. Its similar to autox but the course is much smaller tighter turns and such.
This guys amazing. Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: red baron on November 19, 2011, 09:07:42 AM Truly impressive. [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: cokey on November 19, 2011, 11:05:15 AM Its a female riding.
Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: ducatidesmo on January 03, 2012, 09:28:05 AM I've seen Motorcycle cops do this too on Interceptor Harleys and BMW's. I believe there is a yearly Contest somewhere in the states.

Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: BastrdHK on October 10, 2012, 12:33:18 AM Hell, just memorizing the course would be a challenge! That sprocket is way bigger than stock...not quite stunter 72 teeth, but big.
Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: militar3rd on October 21, 2012, 10:20:56 PM If that was a female, I'd seriously re-consider my aspiration of becoming a professional motorcycle rider. :-[
But that was a very good run. :) Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: Slide Panda on October 22, 2012, 11:11:50 AM I've seen Motorcycle cops do this too on Interceptor Harleys and BMW's. I believe there is a yearly Contest somewhere in the states. Nationals is probably during Police week in D.C. Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: ZLTFUL on October 24, 2012, 12:31:15 PM A huge misconception for "getting a knee down" is that you are somehow supporting the bike through a turn. Truth is, it is merely used as a feeler/indicator of lean angle.
Sure, there are professional riders who have saved crashes this way but if you are supporting weight on your knee, you are on your way to a crash. Watch the below video and in a lot of instances, you will see even at full lean, the pucks are just a fraction of an inch above the ground. Most of the time they are skimming right at the edge of contact. Best of 2011: Slow Motion (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGIjetX6TBk#) Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: OT on October 25, 2012, 02:25:22 PM KR, Sr. said he used his knee for support, making it easier to keep the bike stable...but that was in the 1970s...
Title: Re: Knee down? What for? Post by: Slide Panda on October 29, 2012, 09:00:17 AM No need for knees here
